Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into thick chips/fries.
- Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Boil a pot of water, add a pinch of salt, and blanch the potato chips for about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain the chips and spread them out on a kitchen towel to dry thoroughly.
- Finely chop the spearmint, parsley, and tarragon.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
- Add the chopped herbs, minced garlic, lemon juice, and mayonnaise to the avocado. Mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the fish properly.
- Season the batter with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the dried potato chips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the chips until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Keep them warm in a low oven while you prepare the fish.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Dip each fish fillet into the beer batter, making sure it is well coated.
- Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry until the fish is golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Arrange the golden fried fish fillets and hand-cut chips on a serving platter.
- Serve hot with the herb avocado mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Use a light beer for the batter to ensure it becomes crispy and airy.
- Make sure the fish fillets are dry before dipping them in the batter to help the coating stick better.
- Use a thermometer to maintain the frying oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for optimal crispiness.
- Cut the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly and become crispy.
- Add a touch of salt to the batter for extra flavor.
- Drain the fried fish and chips on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
- Serve the dish immediately to enjoy the fish’s crispiness at its best.
